I am certain convinced that the greatest heroes are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affiars whilst the world whirls as a maddening dreidel- F. Nightingale

Simplicity of Llife

Morgan is at a great age and a bad age right now. She has yet to learn how to sit in our lap for more then 5 min but she finds such pleasure in the simple things.

Morgans exploring how things work in life. Like drinking out of a cup, going down stairs, touching hot things-oouch! and daddy and mommy get to parent and hide our smiles when she figures out, the hard way, how things work.

I have tried to let her find out for herself and not come to the rescue all the time. For example, she did take a slight tumble down the 2 steps going to the backyard cause she wasn't going down safely (babies really do bounce!, she was none the worse) and I smiled to myself as she poured all of the dog's water over herself yesterday. She said the word cold for the first time!

I did intervene when she was trying to take out the carton of chocolate milk and it started to pour out onto her head. Next time if it's closer to 5 pm, I'll let her pour it all over herself and she can surprise daddy at the door :)

I wonder if God doesn't feel like this watching his children walk through life figuring out how his world works. Seeing his children fall down stairs and pour cold water all over themselves. I bet God smiles or cries alot
